The attachment loop is trapezoidal in plan and bevelled on the inside. It has a circular plate which is domed at the front with a rope-work border and is concave at the rear. At the front the domed area has some decoration, However it is now worn and corroded. Consequently, it cannot be determined what the design represented. The hook is incomplete as its curved part is missing. The surviving part is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear.This tag has a matt green patina overall. The break is abraded.34.4 x 13.4 x 3.2mm. Weight: 2.13g.This tag can be classified as a Read Class A, Type 3 (Read 2008: 91ff).
